Alone

A few days have passed now since the incident, I've been trying to figure out my...problem. With this man's help I have grown more control than I have in the past three years! Who is he though? Is he a powerful man? Or a weak man? I definitely am not powerful, but I'm not weak either. Could he be...the same?

I shake my head as he throws his punch towards my face, I dodge it by ducking down and swiping at his feet. He however jumps over it and kicks me back. A small smile forms on my lips. My dark blue eyes fade black for a second, but then return at my command.

I quickly run at him again, this time, I jump on him and wrap my legs around his waist. My arm wraps around his throat and I turn throwing him to the ground with the inside of my elbow. I stand up with a smile on my face. He coughs a bit, but gets back up.

"You're getting better at controlling it." The small smile grows on my lips. But one thought crosses my mind quickly, causing my smile to falter. He must have noticed because his also falters. "What is it?" He asks calmly, I however just turn away from his brown eyes.

"I can't stay here." I whisper quietly, when I go to turn back around, he grabs my shoulders gently.

"I know, but that doesn't mean you have to leave right now. Does it?" A weak smile forms on his lips again. I look up at him with a sad smile, he's the first person to care for me since Eli. I don't even know if she will still want to be around me. After all, I am just a monster. He puts his hand under my chin, his other around my waist. "You just can't lose hope. If you ever need me, you know where to find me." His smile becomes invisible to me as he pulls me into a hug. I don't normally let others hug me. Well, besides Eli.

But this feels...different. It's like I was meant to feel this way. Like I am meant to be in his arms. But I can't. I can't put his life in danger because of me. I already did that once, I can't do that again. I just...can't lose anyone else. Not like I lost...them.

A few tears stream from my eyes, memories of 'them' appear in my eyes. Anger and sorrow fill my eyes, causing them to fade black once more. Only for them to falter again, I push away from the man, a note in my hand. But before I even look into his eyes, I am gone.

I stand in the alleyway, the little note in my hand. I open it and read the contents;

'Don't stress yourself too much, everything is gonna be alright.'

The card reads, my eyes trail down the the bottom of the card;

'You'll never truly be alone. But for now...I guess you can try. -Your best pal'

I chuckle at the name, how did he know I was gonna leave though? I shake my head and make my way back to the apartment. What did he mean I would never truly be alone? I don't understand, I've always been alone. Haven't I? I look up at the moon shining above me.

Maybe I don't have to be alone anymore.
